NET Honor’s African American Heritage… such films as: Enduring Faith brings to light a story little known and rarely discussed. It tells of the courage and ultimate despair of early black Josephite priests and the pivotal role of Rome in forcing the American Church to open its doors to blacks. It also brings to the forefront the Josephite’s undying efforts to bring Catholicism to African Americans and the unwavering stance of African American Catholics who clung tenaciously to their faith through trying times. Beverly Carroll, Executive Director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat for African American Catholics, stated, “Enduring Faith does not shield viewers from the intensity of the racism and animosity these men faced. You feel the chills going up and down your spine as you hear the words of early Josephite Fathers.”
